Sorting search results

Hello,

I'm starting to use OPS API. So far, Api Doc is very clear, I can manage to do what I want, except one problem : how can I sort results in bibliographic search ?
In Espacenet, I can sort results by relevance, priority, or publication date. In OPS Api, I cannot find such option, and I do not know how the results are sorted. I'd really need to sort results by relevance, like ine espacenet.

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi,

OPS is web-service access to raw data, it does not apply same business rules as processed data in tools like Espacenet can. You cannot sort in OPS.
